The Scriptural Trail from Eden extracts specific scriptures to follow the redemption story from the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis to Revelation and to bring it alive for today’s readers.

About the Author

INTRODUCTION

The Scriptural Trail from Eden summarizes and traces the evolution of Christianity from its beginning to the second coming of Jesus Christ with scriptural support to keep the reader anchored in the Holy Bible. Christians and non-Christians alike should find this book very interesting.

It is alarming to realize that the billions of people on the planet Earth came from a man and woman created by God in the Garden of Eden, and that their disobedience, which took place in the garden, is the primary reason why Jesus Christ came to bring man’s salvation.

To understand the history of the redemption story and to accept Jesus Christ as Lord, Savior, and King, we must backtrack to the beginning. It all started in the book of Genesis and concluded in Revelation.

As I mentioned, The Scriptural Trail from Eden allows the reader to visualize the path for the coming of Jesus Christ. It places emphasis on the journey of God’s chosen people and highlights how God intimately interacted and traveled with His people on their historical path for the sake of His only Son.

This book offers renewal for dedicated Christians, a better understanding for new converts, and a sense of purpose for those who may still be searching.

Points that are considered significant are highlighted and discussed, such as prophecies about the coming of Jesus Christ and the relationship between God and humankind.

We all have our own experiences when considering Christianity. I share a part of my exciting Christian journey that strengthens my faith with hope that it may assist others in their own search to establish a relationship with Jesus Christ.

T he bible is a fascinating book that i read because it describes every aspect of human life. Somehow it captures our weaknesses, strengths, desires, failures, and high and low points of our lives. The Bible’s teachings apply to every generation, despite how the ways of life may change. The principles embedded in this book can also become a part of our daily lives.

After two thousand years, the teachings of a man who appeared to be ordinary—yet was both God and man—left an indelible mark on humanity. Today, many people still strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Bible is accessible to millions and can be used to self-evaluate our behaviors. Many of us look at it every day, and some will dust it off now and then or even pack it away.

We often view the high cost of an item to determine its value. The price for a Bible is low, and in many instances, it is given freely. But because it is not commercialized and repackaged like some items, it can be looked upon as insignificant. This ancient book is proven to be valuable because its teachings are passed down though many generations, which reflects how our parents, our family members, and others have lived what we consider good lives. We realize that some of them have had a tremendous faith in God that became the primary reason for their survival. However, sometimes we tend to abandon this tradition, especially in our youth. But fortunately, as we age, we see wisdom.

The good news is that, wherever you are on your life’s journey, whether you have been beaten down or you are on the top of your game and the spotlight is presently on you, the teachings of Jesus Christ can relate to your situation and improve it.
